3) Stop buying bottled water.ABC's 20/20 asked scientists to analyze five different brands of bottled water. The result: There was no difference between the bottled stuff and the tap water in New York. If you think you can taste a difference, buy a filter and fill up your own bottles for a fraction of the cost.
4) Buy whole fruits and vegetables. Don't pay people to do your chopping or grating for you.
5) Freeze leftovers. One reason people give for buying expensive, preprepared food is that they don't have the time to make things from scratch. If you don't feel like cooking, You will have plenty of frozen dinners on hand that cost less than the boxed kind.
6) Get membership cards. Many retailers offer a membership card, and you'll get access to discounts if you sign up.
7) Don't buy snack foods. One of the most expensive things in the grocery store, especially when you consider cost vs. nutrition, is snack foods. They're not doing anything for your wallet or your waistline. Fruit is far cheaper than candy, and much better for you. Bake your own cookies or cakes. The Web is full of homemade snack recipes.
8) Shop online. You might find better prices than those at the local grocery store. Which website has the best prices?
